My first CBG, I kinda made it on a whim. I had seen Shane Speal on internet selling his guitars and thought they were cool. But if I am going to buy a new guitar, I want a real guitar. I have regretted that guitar snobbery attitude for about 8 years now. Since I decided I’d make ONE. I was so amazed that I could actually make an instrument and play it. I made it for slide with high action, nails glued in as frets. And I didn’t have a slide so I used a spoon . And I had to reach myself how to play slide. I started using a copper coupling as a slide and built one or two more and that was it. I got better and better at making them and started using actual frets, adding decorative items, creating useable art. Right now I’m working on my 69th CBG.
I started building three months ago... got to build no#8 in 2023 :) 6 of then 3stringers 1 2tring fretless bass and one 3stringed fretless guitar ! i still look at my other guitars but only play on my boxes!! :) sooo fun building and playing!! :) No# 9 is on the way and 2024 is only been for one day! :)
Interesante! I build guitars for 5 years now, learning a lot on tutorials from this guys i have about 60 already muchas Gracias!!! Por el amor a la música y a las guitarras de caja de cigarros !!
When I found I could build a cbg and play most of the rock tunes I wished I could play it was an epiphany!!! 6 strings are 3 strings too many!! I don't have much interest in slide blues it's AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Neil Young, Green Day etc that's what gets me going!!! 19:50 ... OMG! There's a Slade Room??!! ❤❤❤

I'm expecting my first cbg mid January. This fabulous video has given me so much incentive to get started on my cbg journey. Thank you

Where can I go to the attend class for making one of these
This is why I do not understand modern youth, it has all been handed to them on a plate, and I think they have thrown it all away.
